Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

This lovely three bedroom, two bath home is located in central Austin convenient to UT, downtown, and South Congress. If you are coming to visit Austin's fabulous music venues, to share the memory of a wedding or graduation, a family gathering, or for a work-related activity, you will want to stay at Hill House. This house is located in an established neighborhood with local restaurants and shops. For family entertainment, the Alamo Draft House Theaters, indoor ice skating rink, indoor skating rink, pool hall, and bowling alley are all within minutes of the house. The house has a private, fenced back yard with covered deck that is great for entertaining at home.

Special features of the house include fabulous hardwood floors throughout, granite counters with glass mosaic tile in the kitchen, master bath with mosaic tile and custom dressing area. The living areas are very open while the bedrooms offer complete privacy. There are two living areas, a dining room, and two counter/bar areas with seating in the kitchen. The kitchen is open to the living and dining areas and is fully equipped. The glass sunroom is a wonderfully tranquil garden room that looks onto the back yard and opens directly onto the covered deck. The sunroom also has a lovely bistro table perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The bedrooms all have ceiling fans, are all separate, and offer maximum privacy. The house has a detached game room that has a Wii game consul, flat screen TV, and foosball table that also converts to multiple games. The Wii is just as popular with the adults as it is with the kids.

Although the house is privately located in a quiet neighborhood, the house is within five minutes of major freeways for easy access to Austin sites, The University, and medical centers.

About Cindy Hill

A few years ago my husband and I were looking for a business that we would enjoy when we decided to retire. We started with one vacation rental property in 2007, and we now have 4 properties and manage a fifth. The best part of this business is the variety of guests that we have hosted. Our goal is to offer a uniquely Austin experience in a wonderfully inviting home environment. With our retirement plans still on the horizon, we could not be happier with our choice to offer ourselves as your hosts.

Cindy Hill purchased this house in 2004
Why Cindy Hill chose Austin

Central Austin is so convenient...close to everything. Allendale is one of those 'Leave to Beaver' neighborhoods that you just don't want to miss. Come home to our house!

March at the Hill House

I could not have asked for nicer accomodations than this adorable home. It was furnished so comfortably; our every need was thought out and provided for with exquisite care. We felt "at home" right away, and all our guests agreed. The open floor-plan gives a spacious feel to the rooms, encouraging great conversations and allowing for lots of company, which we had during our month-long stay in preparation for our daughter's wedding. Any meal was a breeze to prepare in the well-supplied kitchen. Even laundry detergent and dryer sheets were available, making washing day a snap! I personally loved all the books and plants sitting about "my" home for the month; in fact, some friends and family took the books for mine, but I couldn't claim credit! The outside deck and attractive yard added not only space but a beautiful view through the many windows, a calming effect during the high-stress pre-wedding days. The beds were super comfortabe with seemingly brand-new quality linens. Towels were also new and fluffy. And, if anything needed attention, as when the wind took a shutter off, the owners came immediately to remedy it. I loved the house. It was close to everything and very easy to get around Austin from its location. I highly recommend a stay here, and I hope I get to return someday soon.

Perfect house and location for our party of five adults. In town for NCAA basketball - easy access to UT campus and downtown site-seeing.

Comfortable Home

5 of 5
Submitted: February 16, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My colleagues and I came to Austin for a convention, and this house was so great. The house was very clean, and there was plenty of space for us to work together in the family areas, and comfortable accommodations. The location was great - quiet neighborhood, with easy access to major roadways in the area, and reasonable drive time to the convention center downtown. The homeowner provides a great notebook to assist any house guest with anything from home details, places to eat nearby and around the city, and ideas for site seeing. When visiting Austin in the future, I will definitely be checking for availability!!!

Comfort, Convenience & Texas hospitality!

Comfort, Convenience & Texas hospitality!

Submitted: February 1, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
I cannot say enough about how much I love staying at this home away from home. First off; Texas hospitality! My 87 year old mom and I arrived by car at night with a faulty navigational system that kept us going in circles. It was late. I called Cindy and she didn't seem to blink an eye at the hour and patiently directed us to home! I was eternally grateful. We had stayed at another of Cindy's rentals the year before and she and her husband came to our rescue when we couldn't figure something out in the house. If I recall correctly, it was something as stupid as how to turn the TV on, but, they came over on their way to dinner with the grandkids anyway! Again, many thanks for that.

The home itself is comfortable and fun. We were there for my daughter's fiancee's
sisters wedding. One night a few of the young adults came over to visit. They thoroughly enjoyed the game room. All the other rooms are great too. We used the fully equipped kitchen on several occasions and felt we had everything we needed to cook a full on dinner. We loved sitting in the sun room, chatting and reading. The bed's were great as were the bathrooms. All was good in the home.

Finally, the home is located conveniently near to Mopac, giving easy access to downtown and all areas. We enjoyed nearby restaurants and Amy's ice cream. (don't miss it!)

All in all, everything is spot on in this rental home. I will definitely be returning to stay there in the future.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review! I appreciate you choosing our home for your visit to Austin. We enjoyed hosting you and your family again and hope all enjoyed the wedding. Please keep us in mind for your next visit.
Take care, Cindy
